When you say Italy the first thing that comes to mind for me is pasta and pizza! Then there’s art and culture, religion and history, fashion and so much more…
Italy, a country where history, culture, and natural beauty intertwine, is a destination that captivates the heart and soul. From the ancient ruins of Rome to the romantic canals of Venice, and from the culinary delights of Bologna to the stunning coastline of Capri and the Amalfi Coast, Italy offers a rich tapestry of experiences that reflect its storied past and vibrant present.
Rome, the Eternal City, is a place where every corner holds a piece of history. Walking through its streets, you encounter iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, the Vatican, and the Pantheon, each telling a story of a bygone era. Venice, with its labyrinth of canals and timeless beauty, offers a unique experience of drifting through its waterways, where every bridge and piazza is steeped in romance and history.
On the island of Capri and along the Amalfi Coast, the dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters provided a breathtaking backdrop for leisurely exploration. The island’s natural beauty, combined with its luxurious charm, made it an unforgettable part of the journey. Naples, with its vibrant streets and rich history, offered a taste of southern Italy’s energy and passion.
A special highlight was attending a wedding in Rocca di Papa, a charming town perched on the Alban Hills overlooking Lake Albano & the Pope’s summer house. This intimate experience of Italian life, surrounded by beautiful landscapes and warm hospitality, added a personal touch to the adventure.
Each visit to Italy has deepened my appreciation for its art, culture, and history. Whether exploring its ancient cities, savouring its world-renowned cuisine, or simply enjoying the scenic beauty of its landscapes, Italy continues to be a place of endless fascination and joy. I am sure I will be back many times over to experience all that this beautiful country has to offer.
